Figure 7 - Magnetic Flux Field
When the window of the vane cup is between the magnet and the Hall Effect device, a magnetic field is completed from the magnet through the Hall
Effect device and back to the magnet.
Hall Effect Device Response To Vane
As the vane passes through this opening, the flux lines are shunted through the vane and back to the magnet. At this time, a voltage is produced as the
vane passes through the opening. When the vane clears the opening, the window edge causes the signal to go to zero volts. The signal is then used by
the EEC system for Crankshaft position Sensing and the Desired Spark Advance based on engine demand and calibration. The spark advance and
voltage distribution is accomplished through a conventional rotor, cap and ignition wires.
